Relax. They'll include it in the next script. Used to watch this with my grandmother back in the B+W days. They had catalytic converter shootings all the time.

“shot and killed during an attempted catalytic converter”

Capital murder ... depending on the color of your skin ... and which political party you donate to.

You only get one chance to defend your life and I assume this guy wasn’t armed. Bad decision in a city run 100% by democrats, he will never get another chance.

Many catalytic converter thieves are now adding a bit of insurance to their operations. But that, I mean they are now stationing an armed man off to the side in the shadows.

If the victim appears and gets too aggressive with the thieves, the armed man in the shadows takes out the victim.

I don’t know if that happened here. But I do know that the country is going to hell thanks to Biden and his cohorts.

For the benefit of those who read only the excerpt, he wasn’t attempting to steal the catalytic converter—he was shot by one of the thieves.

Yeah - you gotta’ be careful as you have no idea where the second guy is relative to you.

In an adjacent county this happened a few years ago. The person whose vehicle was being worked on had that kit that has the cables hanging somewhat loosely around the cat so cutting takes much longer. Stupid as they were the thief kept working. The person called his neighbor and his neighbor ran over to a vehicle that was just down the road a bit and spiked the sidewalls on two tires.

By the time the thief gave up and he and the “trailer” ran back to their truck, they realized two tires were flat - and still drove off. Two deputies stopped them and found multiple cats in the pickup bed, sawzalls with power packs, handgun, etc.
